How do I prevent from getting the "stomach flu" PLEASE HELP!?!
Question: How do I prevent from getting the "stomach flu" PLEASE HELP!?
Tomorrow I am going to Washington for a band performance on Saturday. And we are going to stay a night in the hotel with 4 people in each room. Well today, one of my roommates happened to get the "stomach flu", with diarrhea, vomiting, and all that. She is probably gonna be at the performance and she's probably still gonna stay in the room regardless, so I really don't want to catch what she has especially on the day of the performance.
Will hand sanitizer be any help at all??
I won't have access to a restroom all the time, so I can't always keep washing my hands.
What can I do??

Yes, hand sanitizer will help but in addition to that avoid touching your mouth, nose or eyes if you have not washed your hands recently. Also, try not to touch your food before you eat it if your hands are not clean. Also, make sure to get a good nights sleep, eat well, and exercises to help keep your immune system up!
Yes, hand sanitizer is very effective at killing the viruses that can cause what is commonly (but erroneously) called the "stomach flu".
